YMF 2023/24 MIT DEM JAHRESMOTTO „ANFANG & ENDE“

Um ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsvorhaben zu bearbeiten und damit verbunden Aktivitäten auf dem Gebiet der Wissenschaftskommunikation zu entfalten, sind zwölf junge Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler als Young Marsilius Fellows in das Marsilius-Kolleg der Universität Heidelberg aufgenommen worden. Sie bilden die zweite Klasse des neuen Fellowship-Programms. Die gemeinsamen Forschungsarbeiten zum Schwerpunktthema „Raum und Zeit“ münden in ein selbst organisiertes Symposium, auf dem im Juli 2023 die Arbeitsergebnisse öffentlich vorgestellt werden.

	Dr. Héctor Álvarez Mella Fachrichtung: Romanistik/Soziolinguistik Einrichtung: Heidelberg Centrum für Ibero-Amerika Studien	Forschungsschwerpunkte: cultural and social-scientific analysis of multilingualism, education, internationalization, and interculturality Zitat: I study multilingualism in (post-)migrant societies. Human mobility challenges the concept of borders and obliges us to rethink where language communities begin and end. As a YMF, I am looking forward to developing new interdisciplinary research questions with my colleagues.
	Dr. Paula Maria Arana Barbier Fachrichtung: Politikwissenschaft Institut: Max-Weber-Institut für Soziologie	Forschungsschwerpunkte: the dynamics between governments and religious groups, particularly minorities. currently: historical presence of Muslims and Jews in Spain and possible precedents of religious accommodation that have been forgotten throughout the years Zitat: I work on „disappeared“ Muslim sites in Spain built during the Spanish Civil War. I focus on cemeteries and how someone's „end“ and forgotten past might change the future and give us a new beginning. The YMF is perfect for learning to share my research with a broader academic community.
	Dr. Chris Byrohl Fachrichtung: Astrophysik Einrichtung: Institut für Theoretische Astrophysik Heidelberg	Forschungsschwerpunkte: the study of gas surrounding galaxies, the circumgalactic medium (CGM), in hydrodynamical simulations Zitat: I am a computational astrophysicist investigating the Universe's evolution from the beginning to the end of its most vigorous galaxy formation era. As a YMF, I am excited about exchanging innovative ideas, technologies and outreach formats used across disciplines in academia.
	Dr. Anja Greinacher Fachrichtung: Palliativmedizin Institut: Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg	Forschungsschwerpunkte: Mental well-being in the case of physical illnesses Zitat: As a psychologist in palliative care, I am researching biography work: patients record audiobooks for their minor children – aligning with this year‘s YMF motto „Beginning & End“. My initial foray into science communication in this project has sparked a keen interest in learning and exchanging ideas with fellow scientists.
	Dr. Saskia Haupt Fachrichtung: Mathematik Institut: Engineering Mathematics and Computing Lab (EMCL)	Forschungsschwerpunkte: modeling biomedical processes, in particular, cancer development and tumor-immune interactions in Lynch syndrome development of mathematical, computational, and statistical models for the different scales ranging from the molecular over the cell and tissue to the population level Zitat: The questions of the beginning and the progression of cancer as a disease are the main drivers for me as a mathematician working in cancer research. I develop models of cancer to support patient care. YMF allows me to discuss socially relevant topics in an interdisciplinary team.
	Dr. Wikke Jansen Fachrichtung: Ethnologie Institut: Heidelberg Centre for Transcultural Studies	Forschungsschwerpunkte: gender and sexuality Islam media studies mobility collaborative anthropology research ethics, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia and Western Europe Zitat: I am an anthropologist of gender and sexuality, religion, and social change in Southeast Asia and Europe. For me, the YMF is a way to explore our social responsibility as scholars to end exploitative dealings with people and the environment as well as to spark new beginnings for ethical research and teaching.
	Dr. Mischa von Krause Fachrichtung: Psychologie Institut: Psychologisches Institut	Forschungsschwerpunkte: Diffusionsmodellanalyse Interindividuelle Unterschiede intraindividueller Veränderung Mathematische Modellierung kognitiver Prozesse Persönlichkeit Zitat: Being a psychologist focusing on the development of individual differences in cognition, the human lifespan's „Beginning & End“ are for me especially interesting periods of change. As a YMF, I hope to see a new beginning in trans-disciplinary enrichment and understanding.
	Dr. André Pfob Fachrichtung: Medizinische Informatik Institut: Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg	Forschungsschwerpunkte: Frauenheilkunde und Geburtshilfe Zitat: I am a physician scientist focusing on Artificial Intelligence in cancer research. „Beginning & End“ symbolizes my exploration of AI from early detection to better outcomes. The interdisciplinary dialogue within the YMF will help me identifying innovative cancer care solutions.
	Dr. Jan Rombouts Fachrichtung: Biomedizin/Mathematik Institut: European Meolecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)	Forschungsschwerpunkte: modeling of biological rhythms such as the cell division cycle modeling of pattern formation, and in particular how this guides an organism's development Zitat: I use mathematics to study the patterns that guide the development of organisms at the beginning of their lives. Being a researcher is about learning, from nature and from each other. As a YMF, I am eager to learn from the other fellows and develop my communication skills.
	Dr. Raphael Schäfer Fachrichtung: Rechtswissenschaft Institut: Max-Planck-Institut für Ausländisches Öffentliches Recht und Völkerrecht	Forschungsschwerpunkte: Humanitäres Völkerrecht Geschichte und Grundlagen des Völkerrechts Globalgeschichte internationale Streitbeilegung öffentlich-rechtliche Rechtsvergleichung Rechtstheorie Law and Literature Zitat: I analyze international humanitarian law from a historical perspective. I am especially interested in how the beginning and possible end of a conflict shape the interpretation of legal obligations during warfare. As a YMF, I am looking forward to rediscover interpret international law from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
	Dr. Katja Isabell Seitz Fachrichtung: Psychologie Institut: Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg, Klinik für Allgemeine Psychiatrie, Zentrum für Psychosoziale Medizin	Forschungsschwerpunkte: Childhood trauma and adult mental health Transdiagnostic mechanisms of change in psychotherapy Zitat: As a psychotherapist working in the field of childhood trauma, I study how maltreatment in the beginning of life exerts enduring effects on mental and physical health until the end of life. As a YMF, I am keen on sharing interdisciplinary experiences to broaden my perspective.
	Dr. Madeline Werthschulte Fachrichtung: Umweltökonomik Institut: Alfred-Weber-Institut für Wirtschaftswissenschaften	Forschungsschwerpunkte: Environmental and energy economics Behavioral economics Field and lab experiments Zitat: I am an economist studying individual decision-making in the context of mitigating climate change impacts. Reducing climate risks calls for a larger societal transformation, which requires cooperation across disciplines. As YMF, I wish to engage in such interdisciplinary exchange and to broaden my research perspective.
